This shall automate the manual procedures that are followed by users to read the ?rules and agreement? and will enforce to some extent the users to be aware of rules in place.

Really? Maybe I'll ask over there, but I had a look at it and I don't see any mention of rules or T&C prior to purchase.

Very strange..
I installed the hack and although everything slipped in without a hitch there is no rule or agreement popup when I enter the assigned forum.

I ran this before on an earlier forum, worked fine. But this time its as though its not even installed (front end wise) everything is there as far as the CP is concerned.

Any ideas?

[JohnBee]

Okay I found it!

This MOD "vbPluginOrder 1.0" does not seem to allow the agreement page to come up, I will look into it with the author.

thx

I have one small question, is it possible to adjust the size of the user agreement form? I find it a little short for my needs.

I went to this template ruleshack_rulesbit

Found this line

<div class="page" style="border:thin inset; padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px;<if condition="!is_browser('konqueror')"> height:750px; overflow:auto</if>">

Change the bolded number to suit your needs.

When I use a forum link OR

from File URL e.g: http://www.DOAIMN.com/FORUM/file.php

Why does it apply to everyone?

I'm afraid that does not work
I think that is a conditional for overflow in alternate browsers or something not sure, whatever it is it does not change the height of the R&A form.
